30/04/2007 - Disembarkation
The 5th NPW is now over, and judging by the comments, everybody had
a great time. The organizers would like to thank everybody involved:
the volunteers, the attendees, and of course the speakers for making
the Nordic Perl Workshop 2007 such a success.

We are looking forward to seeing you all next year in Stockholm!

28/04/2007 - We're airborne!
NPW2007 day 1 was great; most attendees have arrived, and the talks
are going well.

There are some issues with the wifi, since the venue decided
that today was a good day to move the main firewall, but it look
like it has stabilized for now.

The schedule seems to have gotten a life of its own; to keep up
to date, it's best that you check it yourself.

23/04/2007 - Changes to the schedule
There have been some changes to the schedule.

'When Perl is not cool
enough' by NPW2005 head honcho Claes Jakobsson, has been cancelled.
We expect jonasbn to give his talk on 'Workflow' instead.

'Testing When You Don't
Have Time' by Tom Hukins has also been cancelled. Tom broke his
arm and will not be attending. We wish Tom a speedy recovery, and
hope to see him in Copenhagen some other time. Instead, we have
persuaded Leon 'acme' Brocard to fill in for Tom, with a talk
entitled 'What's new in Perl
5.10?'.

03/04/2007 - Hotel Discount
We have obtained a discount from our recommended hotel: Cab Inn City, when booking please
use the code 'logicLAB', yes this is badly chosen, but it was chosen by
the hotel, when we booked for our speakers via one of our sponsors.

12/03/2007 - Sponsor Announcement; Foreningen Fri Software (FoFS)
We have applied for a grant from FoFS among other and today we received a
positive response we are very happy to have FoFS sponsor our workshop, since it
acknowledges and underlines the fact that Perl is free software, something you sometimes
forget - our favorite toy and tool is actually free.

We owe special thanks to Kenneth Geisshirt of FoFS, who mentioned the possiblity, so without
him we would not have applied for a sponsorship in the first place.

Consider joining FoFS, it is only 100 DKK

Jonathan Worthington is joining the awesome list of speakers, so we will
get Perl 6 directly from the source.

08/03/2007 - Schedule onlineThe schedule is now

We have a few things in the pipe-line, which just need final confirmation, then

probably be followed by a BOF on SCRUM, XP and other agile
methodologies. There are room for plenty of BOFs please see the Wiki

interviews for future Perlcasts and we are very happy to
have this opportunity to assist.
